March 2007 Accidental Journey. A Cambridge Internee's Memoir of WWII by Mark Lynton is simply the most enjoyable book I have read in 5 years. I think the only way I could have enjoyed this book more is if someone like Peter O'Toole read out loud to me.The style of the writing is story telling in a very well-read, understated, dry English wit.  I have already loaned my copy out. Mark Lynton was born Max Otto Lowenstien of a Jewish family in Germany. At the outbreak of WWII, he was a Cambridge law student who was rounded up with other German and Austrians living in England and sent to work camps.  He eventually was released and became an officer in the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment who chased the Nazis across northern Europe back into Germany. After the German surrender, Lynton was part od interrogation teams for German officers and officials. Lynton's memoirs about WWII are less about the battles and more about his personal experiences and anecdotes. It's very entertaining and well written. Back to reading list
